Bathrooms on an island the Gulf itself created in 1848
Treasure Island didn't exist as a separate landmass until an unnamed 1848 hurricane cut the channel now known as John's Pass, and the city wasn't incorporated until 1955, when the towns of Sunset Beach, Boca Ciega, Treasure Island, and Sunshine Beach merged by special act of the Florida Legislature. Bathrooms in the island's older sections reflect that mid-1950s consolidation-era construction, built directly on barrier-island sand rather than the mainland's more varied soil.
Why storm history matters for a barrier-island bathroom
Hurricane Helene's 2024 storm surge, estimated at six to eight feet on Treasure Island, pushed water into homes across the city and forced a shutdown of potable water service, so any bathroom on the island built before that storm should be checked for water intrusion at the wall base before a remodel scope is finalized. Assuming a bathroom escaped that flooding without a direct inspection is not a safe starting point.
